In this study, experiences shared by cancer patients and survivors were used to establish the appropriateness of narratives in promoting cancer literacy, as well as in describing adherence to set policies on cancer treatment and management. Anchored on the Health Belief Model, this study analysed sampled Daily Nation newspaper articles sharing the experiences of cancer patients and survivors in Kenya. The data was analysed using content analysis and compared with guidelines in national policies on cancer and the Setting Perception Invitation or Information Knowledge Empathy Summarize or Strategize (SPIKES) protocol for breaking bad news. The key findings suggest that the narratives effectively captured critical aspects on cancer literacy including detection of symptoms, diagnosis, communication of results, palliative care and treatment and management. A lack of counselling before disclosing the results of cancer diagnosis and instances of absence of shared decision making in the treatment process indicated non-adherence to national policies on cancer treatment as well as the SPIKES protocol.","PeriodicalId":39728,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Medicine","volume":"8 1","pages":"257-269"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84792893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We work to identify, critique and explore the pragmatics of language patterns between caregiving listeners and care-recipient listeners who experience dementia, with a focus on cultivating a more inclusive conceptualization of active listening verbal behaviors. Through content analysis of 66 conversations in the Alzheimer's and dementia context utilizing an adapted Active Listening Observation Scale (ALOS), our findings create a baseline from which to explore listening behaviors and the wellbeing of both caregivers and care-recipients. The results point to caregivers exhibiting higher active listening behaviors than care-recipients on every measure, and that across the duration of the conversation caregivers' active listening on a global level decreases and care-recipients' active listening increases. Ultimately, we hope that this research will decrease negative impacts on caregivers of the caregiving role, by addressing communication challenges; increase the agency and voice of care-recipients as listeners who contribute to communication events; create more inclusive conceptualizations of active listening verbal processes; and improve the quality of active listening in Alzheimer's and dementia caregiving contexts.","PeriodicalId":39728,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"122-133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75427257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dataset for the study consists of video recordings of 26 occasions of eating activities. We investigate the use of embodied, vocal and verbal assessments (e.g., headshakes, nods and gustatory 'mmm') together with evaluative terms (e.g., 'good' or 'great') in three consecutive phases in these activities: 'introducing the mealtime activity', 'offering the food' and 'receiving the food'. Drawing on multimodal analysis of interaction, we analyze three mealtime events, in which we show how assessments are issued by caregivers more often in interaction with a person with dementia who appears less engaged in the activity compared to a more engaged resident. Moreover, the analysis explicates how assessments fit in with the overall organization of the activity and are issued in a timely fashion when the food is introduced and brought close to the lips of the person with dementia, and when it is accepted. The findings show that assessments are used not only to share an evaluation of e.g., food or the action of the person with dementia, but also to manage the assisted eating activity. Assessments seem to be used distinctively (1) to build joint attention in the eating activity and (2) to encourage the assisted person to submit to/continue the activity of eating.","PeriodicalId":39728,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Medicine","volume":"13 1","pages":"134-149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87488159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate a critical medical emergency known as out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and focus on how ambulance call-takers handle repairs during an interactive sequence concerning the retrieval of automatic external defibrillators (AED). Clear communication about AEDs is vital, because the device can deliver a life-saving shock to an OHCA patient's heart. We examined repair initiations, and their subsequent trajectories, during the defibrillator sequences in 58 OHCA emergency calls. We found evidence of competing influences in resolving such repairs: (1) providing a repair solution (including ensuring caller comprehension of what a defibrillator is) to achieve intersubjectivity that could resolve the question of defibrillator availability; or (2) progressing the call as swiftly as possible to an immediately applicable life-saving intervention such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The findings suggest that in certain institutional contexts, such as emergency medical service dispatch, the resolution of repairs in communication can take varying trajectories in order to achieve the most feasible goal in immediate time. We suggest that emergency medical services consider these trajectories in helping ambulance call-takers anticipate repairs in OHCA calls.","PeriodicalId":39728,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Medicine","volume":"29 1","pages":"150-164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85985134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
